The statement about the selection describes an example of situational irony in option(d) i.e, Other characters expect Mrs. Mallard to be devastated at the loss of her husband, but she is actually relieved.

Situational irony occurs when the result is the total reverse of what was anticipated. Situational irony is the outcome of a circumstance not going as planned, such as a baker having a flour allergy.

When Mrs. Mallard passes away, it is regarded as situational irony because the reader didn't anticipate her passing. Another irony of the story is that the reader doesn't anticipate Mrs. Mallard's elation and gladness upon learning of her husband's passing. The heroine of "The Story of an Hour," Louise Mallard, is observed as she copes with learning that her husband, Brently Mallard, has passed away. Josephine, Louise's sister, informs her of the awful news that her husband perished in a railroad accident.
